Title: Mobile Help...
Post by: Beaker on June 12, 2008, 16:40:50 PM
Mobile phones are NOT my field of expertise. Just wondered if anyone here has got any of the following, and can give an honest opinion ::

Nokia E51

Nokia 6500 Classic

Samsung Tocco F480

Ericsson W880i

I have had the Nokia 6500 classic since November last year.

Is a good little phone actually but the battery life is a bit pants, i would say with regular use you would need to charge it every night so you dont get caught out.

It runs the same software as the Nokia 6300 and comes with 1gb built in memory but has no slot to add additional memory to it.

Ive had no problems with it so far as its such a simple phone.

Yeah, after looking through the list of features the E51 appears to be head and shoulders above the others.  I was considering an E90, but after playing with one they are far too big.

ones at work go for 5 or 6 days between charges, so i would assume so.

Due to a screw-up on T-Mobiles case they are refusing to let me have the E51 unless I pony up £100.  Not going to happen.  So im dumping them and moving to Orange (40% discount through work).  

Looks like im having a 6500 Slide, or 6500 Classic.  The Issue here is ::

Nokia 6500 (either type) with a 360 elite and no games.

Nokia 6500 (either type) with a 360 Pro and GTA4 or PES3

Help me out here!

Leaning towards the pro to be honest.  

if anyone else has seen a better offer around I would appreciate being pointed at it, but not a Carphone Warehouse company.  Cant use them because its either the discount OR the Freebie if i do that.
